Case Study: KONE Corporation builds a more inclusive culture with Howspace

KONE Corporations engages 60,000 employees with Howspace

KONE Corporation, a global leader in elevators and escalators with 60,000 employees, faced the challenge of renewing its company culture and values in a way that authentically included its geographically dispersed workforce. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic made traditional in-person collaboration impossible, so they turned to Howspace to find a virtual solution that would allow everyone's voice to be heard.

Using the Howspace platform, KONE engaged a global focus group of hundreds of employees in synchronous and asynchronous discussions to co-create new values. This virtual approach eliminated the need for travel and successfully fostered a more inclusive and equitable environment. The results were a warmly welcomed set of values that truly resonated with employees and strengthened KONE's community culture, with Howspace enabling widespread participation that was previously difficult to achieve.
